Loading The Dishwasher - Bosch ASCENTA MODELS Use & Care Manual

Loading the Dishwasher
Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and
excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment.
Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.
Load only dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides
of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes.
Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
Note: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so
the top rack spray arm connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the
door.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block vent with
tall baking sheets. Load these items on the left side of the dishwasher.
Unloading the Dishwasher
When unloading the dishwasher it is best to unload the bottom rack first. Next, unload the silverware
basket followed by the top rack.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing
materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.
